>Look at the comic book industry and how many people still buy Batman books no matter how shitty they get
>still

the fuck are you even talking about?
Do you live in sort some of alternative reality or have you just never left your house?
People are buying OLD issues.
They are buying Figmas and nerdshit.

Out of the 8 comicstores in my city the only one that is still around only exists because they switched to selling older issues and reprints, Figurines and manga.
Its so bad the comic industry literally had to rebrand comic books as "graphic novels" because no one bus comics anymore.

>Or Warhamme 40k and their models
Wamham is in the middle of a bubble of getting bigger because there a lot of service games to spread its popularity. This will not last if they change everything about it that people liked.

>That the hardcore audience is too invested/addicted to just stop buying their shit and that they’ll eat whatever slop is given to them.
Thats not whats happening tho.

>Therefore, I’d their money is guaranteed, expanding the audience to a bigger source of paypigs will make red line go up.
You are doing literally the very thing i just told you is fucking retarded. Someone tells you an absolutely asinine idea is true and you go "no no that actually makes sense" without a hint of self-awareness.
